It also appears that we have to wait for the $75K benefits until our next statement date. Not a big issue, but there are a couple that are interesting.

Other than these 2 downsides, if you find a hotel that works for you, you can just charge $250 to the card to get the credit and cover the remaining with points at a value of 2 cpp which is far superior to what Amex offers you which is 1 cpp FHR or 0.67 cpp THC.
I guess one way to think about it is that if you book these types of hotels more than 2x a year, Edit may actually be much better than Amex.

There are no 2 night minimum restrictions on Edit hotels unless you want to use the $250 credits, unlike the THC. And Chase points (2 cpp) are worth almost 3x as much compared to Amex points (0.7cpp) when booking these hotels.

The lawyers who wrote the language you quote meant only for it to be used against consumers -- and especially consumer class actions. If a business-cardholder were to sue the company for violating the regulations meant to protect consumers, the company would use the language you quoted as a defense in the case.

Still, I will not give you a hard sell on signing up for a business credit card. Leave that to the rest of us here, and we'll handle all of the sign-up bonuses, 3x travel points and the like.

As part of the transition, I've applied for another CC that has 3X on categories that CSR dropped.

I set up Apple TV, but, man, it sucks. If you wanna watch something non-Apple production, you gotta pay extra.

I had no interest in Apple TV+ until two weeks ago, when it was announced that starting in 2026, it would become the exclusive U.S. provider for F1 TV Premium at no additional cost to subscribers, a service I've been paying $130 a year for. Without this, it would have been just another useless benefit offering me zero value.

Why have you been paying $130 a year for a service that you had no interest in?

I've added Apple Music. Oh man, just like Apple TV, how unadapted it is to Car Play.... You can't even search for songs or music on the screen.

Useless. But Ill make Chase pay for every "perk" that they offer which doesn't require me to spend extra.

Apple Music

Is the Apple Music a shared subscription? Can't seem to make that work.

Because it's an individual subscription. Apple charges more for a shared Apple Music subscription

According to the app, my $150 dining credit has been used, except that I can't find it anywhere in the transaction history in the app. Where should I be looking?

To a point that belynch made earlier, it is unfortunate that Chase will apparently delay unlocking the $75,000+ annual spend benefits until the next statement cycle for those of us who already met the spend requirement as of our already-passed last billing cycle or even earlier in the year.

Hey, counselor. Good to see you again. It's been a few years.

its not a shared subscription but I think you can have it added to the family sharing construct within Apple ID and sharing.. so if those ppl are setup in your family then they get access to their own playlists and music..

Apple TV+ is the same thing. All members of the family gain access.
